UVM's Internal Process

When a limited competition is identified, SPA posts it to
the Active Limited Competitions list above and sends a campus
announcement to the relevant Deans, Directors and
Chairs.

The campus announcement includes

information about the grant program

a request for specific information

a deadline by which investigators must notify SPA of their
intent to apply.

If the number of UVM investigators wishing to apply exceeds
the number permitted, the final decision rests with either the
Vice President for Research if interest is across colleges, or
by the Dean if all applicants are within one college.

SPA informs investigators of the decision and those
selected can begin preparing a full proposal at that time.

Important Caveat

Please note that the list of limited competitions compiled by
SPA is not exhaustive.

Anyone who wants to apply to a limited competition not posted
on the list should contact SPA so we can post the opportunity
and conduct the process described above.
